Spotsaas Editor’s POV

FreshBooks works best for freelancers, small agencies, and service businesses handling invoicing, expense tracking, and basic project costing. The interface requires minimal training, and core features—time tracking, expense categorization, project assignment—are straightforward to set up. Account managers are available for onboarding calls, and the mobile app ...Read more

Freshbooks pros and cons

  • User-friendly interface, making it simple to set up and use even for non-accounting experts.

  • Excellent customer support with responsive, knowledgeable, and patient account managers, frequently cited for their exceptional service.

  • Effective for small and freelance businesses, particularly for tasks like invoicing, expense tracking, and bookkeeping.

  • Offers valuable features like recurring billing, time tracking, project collaboration, and seamless payment integrations (e.g., PayPal, Stripe).

  • Reporting functionalities and customizations are less capable compared to industry giants, limiting advanced financial analysis.

  • Invoice customization options are relatively limited, which may not meet specific branding needs.

Great and easy tool

What do you like best? The flexibility of plans according to the size of the business and the ability to create reports for clients and my business. What do you dislike? It’s still confusing to work on clients that pay advanced deposit but it’s an hourly (tracking) project. Recommendations to others considering the product: Make sure you give it a chance, you will get use to it quickly What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? ...

Easy, full-service accounting

What do you like best? I love how easy it is to use FreshBooks. I'm a sole proprietor, and I can do almost all of my accounting tasks with the program. What do you dislike? The timer isn't great, so I use another provider to track time. Recommendations to others considering the product: Freshbooks is affordable and easy to use. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The new interface makes invoicing a bit clunkier. There's ...

Super easy service!

What do you like best? Freshbooks is a very SIMPLE solution for small businesses. What do you dislike? I wish when there are 2 business accounts under the same user, they could use separate email addresses when sending invoices. Recommendations to others considering the product: Easier than Quickbooks What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? TAXES!!!

Great accounting system for freelancers and one-person shops.

What do you like best? Easy to use, clean reports, time tracking, automatic invoicing. It saves me a substantial amount of time every month by keeping everything in one place.

What do you dislike? Some of the reports on the dashboard doesn't have the most accurate number of calculations and wish I had ...

Freshbooks for catering company

What do you like best? Like most accounting software, Freshbooks can cover the basics of tracking expenses, invoicing, and reporting/analytics. The template for the invoices is good, and it's fairly easy to use on both desktop and phone app, although the phone app is pretty limited. What do you dislike? I wish the phone app were more robust--you can't view any reports, for instance. It also has some quirks, like displaying the wrong date for expenses (drop-down will display Jan 3, ...

FreshBooks Review

What do you like best? Very user friendly for tracking time and employees find it simple to navigate. The system has been easy to learn and we love we can track time by 15 min increments and then pull straight into an invoice. It has been so great for creating invoices directly from the system by pulling in the time and the expenses. We like how we can pull data in a PDF and Excel format straight from the system. I like that they just recently made it to where you can edit others time ...

Great Service But Several Flaws

What do you like best? Easy to use for invoicing and relatively inexpensive. What do you dislike? 1. They redesigned the site, made it look "nicer" and added a bunch of features. This made it more confusing to use and find info. The site's indexing engine often is out of sync so when you search for say an invoice that has been paid it might appear as "overdue". I often find that I want to see a certain report and there is no easy way to find it or render it. I don't blame them for ...

review Freshbooks

What do you like best? EASE, I feel that both the mobile and desk top app is easy to use. I have used others and some where confusing.. I don't feel like freshbooks is confusing at all. What do you dislike? Reports that are delivered... I would like to be able to just have a year summary of the Profit and Loss... for tax season. I know that I can link my accountant to my system but, I would like to be able to export a one sheet summary of the P/L statement. Recommendations to ...

Freshbooks Makes All The Difference

What do you like best? It is a solid technology program and mobile app. You can track project time and time estimates as well. The bill is easy and payments work very well with Paypal and bank payments. Woks into the tracking of billing and payments so you don't miss any money coming in. If I had not started using Freshbooks, I would have left a lot of money on the table and unclaimed. If you are trying to do efficient time management, Freshbooks lets you track time multiple ways. ...
